Birthday Special: Aishwarya rocking @40

The epitome of beauty Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is celebrating her
40th birthday today and on this D-day, we turn back the pages of her
life to look back and cherish her achievement, films, marriage and parenthood.
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was born to Krishnaraj and Vrinda Rai as Aishwarya Rai on
November 1st, 1973. She studied to become an architect but destiny has
stored something different for her. She entered into modelling and crowned Miss
India world in 1994.

Aishwarya ventured into acting after winning the title and
starred in Tamil film, ‘Iruvar’. The film was not a commercial hit but she was noticed
in the film. Next she starred in Bollywood film, ‘Aur Pyar Ho Gaya’ but she
tasted her first success with ‘Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam’ in 1999. Aishwarya starred
in hit movies like ‘Taal’, ‘Guru’, ‘Devdas’, ‘Dhoom 2’, ‘Jodhaa Akbar’
and the list goes on. She is considered the cynosure of all eyes and a perfect
blend of beauty and brain. Her beauty is mesmerizing and cine-goers can’t stop
praising her beauty.

Honestly speaking, it’s her beauty which is more discussed
rather than her acting. Aishwarya is also an exceptional dancer. She is a
trained katha dancer and showed her dancing calibre in few movies. Aishwarya is an international figure too. She is
the brand ambassador of foreign cosmetic brand L’Oreal Paris for long years and
starred in few Hollywood movies as well. She has also been conferred with
French award. Aishwarya has been a regular face at Cannes film festival for the
past 11 years. Aishwarya had the honor
to appear on Oprah Winfrey chat show twice. She is also the international
goodwill ambassador of UNAIDS.

Not only due to her achievement but Aishwarya also remained
on the limelight for her personal life. She was in a relationship with Salman
Khan but the duo had a much publicized break-up, later she formed a relationship
with Vivek Oberoi but it too ended on a bitter note and finally the diva happily
settled down with Abhishek Bachchan in 2007. In 2011, the couple was blessed
with a baby girl, named, Aaradhya.

Today, Aishwarya is in a happy space. Though currently she
is on a break from work for her child, that doesn’t mean Ash is away from the
spotlight. She was there and will always be on the top.

We wish
the beautiful actress and a doting mother Aishwarya Rai Bachchan a very happy
birthday and peaceful life ahead.
